Photograph of a ceremonial honouring inside a decorated pavilion. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron garment, a rudraksha-style mala, a gold necklace and a red-and-white floral garland, and sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests. Behind him a large arrangement of multicoloured flowers in purple, yellow, red and white decorates a gilded shrine structure with a golden deity murti. In front, a man in a white shirt and white trousers folds his hands in namaskaram, while a man in a white dhoti and a standing devotee with a rudraksha mala press their palms together nearby. A red tray with flowers rests at the throne's right side, and red carpeting covers the floor.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a leopard-print cloth and a red-and-white flower garland sits on a red-upholstered throne with a gold lion-head armrest, extending one arm forward. A man in a striped grey shirt kneels on red carpet with hands joined, receiving the blessing. Behind them, two women in white clothes stand near an air conditioner, one with an orange scarf and one with a white shawl; a woman in white with an orange cord hands an offering toward the kneeling man. Gold-draped red curtains frame the left side. The seated person has long hair and wears saffron and ornate clothing, a probable match for a person from the page cues, but the face is not identifiable and the appearance is partly obscured.

A seated man on an ornate silver-framed throne with a leopard-print cushion and gold footstool wears saffron/orange robes, a long purple orchid garland, and a rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, smiling as he rests a hand on a silver staff. In the foreground a bald man in a white kurta with an orange shawl kneels on a white rug and bows with his forehead touching the seated man's feet, in a padapuja-style honouring. Behind them, several people in white and orange clothing stand near a pillar and a black speaker, with floral arrangements and gold-draped drapes in the background.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered dhoti and a long rudraksha-style beaded mala sits on a red cushioned throne and smiles while gesturing with his hands. A bald man in orange clothes with a beaded mala stands behind him with palms pressed together. Behind them, a line of people in orange and red garments stands, some holding staffs or rudraksha malas. In the foreground, a bearded older man in white dhoti and white shirt stands beside a woman in a red shawl, while a young girl in an orange garment kneels on the floor before the throne, her head bowed toward the seated man's feet, and flower petals lie scattered on the ground. The setting is outdoors under palm fronds, with red banners and decorations in the background.

A smiling man in a red-orange robe with a tall red and gold turban, long dark hair, a gold beaded necklace and red rudraksha-style mala sits on an ornately carved white throne with a leopard-print cushion. His right arm is extended outward while a man in white kneels and bows his head toward him, receiving the blessing. Behind them, a woman in a dark outfit and a woman in a white sari with a beaded mala stand near a framed portrait of a seated figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long hair, a turban, saffron-red clothing and ornate necklaces, and occupies the throne in a blessing posture.

A photograph of a seated man in a red-maroon robe and matching red turban with a gold ornament, wearing long white-and-pink flower garlands and gold beads, smiling with eyes closed on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden shell-patterned back. A devotee in white dhoti kneels at his feet, which rest in a metal basin of water, while women in orange and white saris stand behind. The setting suggests a ritual padapuja. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the red turban, saffron-toned robe, garlands and throne cues.

Evening photo at a Nithyananda Yoga event. A man in a seated throne on a leopard-print cushioned seat under a large gold ornate canopy wears an orange-saffron robe, white flower garland and white forehead markings, with long hair swept back; he receives a gift from a kneeling man in a maroon-red kurta who holds a red-and-white wrapped box or book. Behind, a standing woman in orange sari and rudraksha mala holds a microphone, and other figures in orange and maroon stand near a marigold and rose-decorated pillar and a black stone deity murti. A gold lion-shaped armrest and a golden kalasha-style stand are visible. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robe, floral garland and throne cues.
